I may have figured out why Orochimaru was so grumpy...He likes his beauty sleep XD? Last night was day 5 since the last time I fed him. I closed at work, so didn't get home until after 10PM. After taking care of my kittens and cleaning up a bit it was 12PM. Orochimaru was already out roaming around when I went to take him out. Normally he starts to get defensive when I'm taking the clips off the lid, but he was pretty much chilling, flicking his tongue out and watching me. When I took the lid off he didn't ball up or anything. At this point I'm getting suspicious, maybe there's something wrong with him, why no attitude? Lol. I stroked him with the snake hook and he turned his head away from but didn't ball up and didn't hiss! I was pretty pleased with that. He didn't try to get away from the snake hook when I was picking him up or try to shoot down back into his tank. Went in the tupperware no problem, and instead of balling like normal he was looking around. Even when I was opening the tupperware to put him back in the tank after cleaning he didn't get defensive or stressed. Anyone else have snakes that are more docile at night? I read that it didn't really matter what time you took them out. So was this a fluke? I guess I'll see. Last night he weighed in at 122 grams and took a 20 gram mouse. I was a little worried about the size of the mouse, I guess I fed the feeder too well lol, but he took it no problem.
Here's a derpy video of him from last week.

I moved the bars because I was worried about them being too close to the heat lamp. (The temp says 73 because I had just put him back in there after cleaning.) He seems to like them.
Nice full belly
